It's no secret that Millennials are struggling to save for long-term goals like retirement, but Starling bank is hoping to change this through offering a mobile-only banking system that works collaboratively with other banks and financial services, instead of competing against them.
The app's eventual goal is to partner with over 25 different services, effectively offering a “marketplace banking vision.” The app intends to serve as a resource that's better suited for the needs of modern individuals, and will stand as an all-in-one marketplace that hosts a variety of third-party services.
The Starling banking app hopes to set an example of what the future of banking could look like if different financial services worked collaboratively, instead of competitively.
